Vox Hunt: Photography - Allow Me To Explain...

nobody@vox.com(maubrowncow) — Sun, 02 Sep 2007 14:02:37 -0700

Show us a photo that requires an explanation.

Pictured is John Greenheck. Teller of great and interesting stories, due to a great and interesting life. You'll have to ask him to tell you the complete story himself. I'll never give it justice, but I'll give you the footnote version. In a solo hiking trip in Mt. Dickerman in Washington State (North Cascades) he was unexpectedly caught out in the cold, overnight, in complete darkness. His only source of warmth, light, and life, was his copy of Hemingway's "Old man and the Sea". He burned each page, one at a time using his last wet match. He has since kept the remaining burned pages as a little reminder of his struggle with the mountain, and the knowledge that, "Hemingway woulda been proud of me!".

What is this?

Scene 95_04

Does anybody have any idea what he's saying, and what the name of the song is? Apparently it's an old standard in Mandarin

QotD: My Current Top 10

nobody@vox.com(maubrowncow) — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 15:46:57 -0700

What are your top 10 most-played songs currently?
Look mom! I'm posting on vox! I'll take misterjt's lead and use last.fm for this answer. I'm ashamed of #2 and #4. I listen to my own mix CD's way too much. Also, I couldn't hum you or tell you the title of a single Q of the SA song. I'm really not sure how that made it on the list.

			Zero 7
			DJ Mau
			Bonobo
			Queens of the Stone Age
			Goldspot
			RJD2
			Just Jack
			Roots Manuva
			Bebel Gilberto

Momentary Insanity via Tricky

nobody@vox.com(maubrowncow) — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 12:48:30 -0700

itunes shuffle mode just played me this song. I dropped all that I was doing, but one hand over my mouth, gave out a little, "aaaaaaah yeaaaah", put the other hand in the air.

Then i continued what I was doing. I love these moments of insanity.

Everybody Dance

8 bit fun with Jorma Taccone, Andy Samberg, and Akiva Schaffer. I produced this beat after a buddy in SF handed me a CD full of 8 bit samples and I had just done some Blue Note record digging.
